As you may know feeding raw meat sent my already itchy dog into overdrive but now I have him stablilised on a low-protein fish based diet I am trying to give him raw at least once a week (Usually those fabby turkey drumsticks from Asda for £1.71!!!)

I am working a mad shift tomorrow requiring me to leave the house at 3am and I won't be back til after midnight.

I will feed them super early and give them a huge walk before I leave, but would it be OK to give them a whole chicken carcass each just before I leave? I was figuring it would keep them busy and fill them up suitably for the rest of the day.

Would this be OK or should I just grab a load of wings/drumsticks/quarters or something harder like lamb for them?

Many thanks in anticipation!
 
I think that would work well.

I have done it with half a chicken before (only because my spaniel is at least half the size of yours) and he wasn't hungry when i got home again at night.
 
Sadly though a whole chicken carcass will fill the boys up it takes them about 30 seconds to devour them!!! Yes I would think that would be fine. Mine being the ultimate competitors will try and get it down fast so that they can try and take what's left out of the mouth of the other one!!

It might be better for him introducing the raw really slowly like this, he must have been in a bad way to detox that violently. Blue I got when he was 6 and though he did not react like that it took a good 18 months to go through the process, he now no longer itches at all and has a beautiful soft coat not the horrible loo brush I got him with!
 
Yeah Karyn, he was already very poorly and which is why I thought raw might help him in terms of removing all yucky stuff from his diet but it sent him the wrong way, I think because his system was so buggered already.

His coat is lovely now, you can run your fingers through it without them getting covered in a greasy layer!
 
That's really good I think it will just be a long haul with him but worthwhile if he is improving already poor thing, you can probably put the improvement largely down to that he wants to get rid of that jumper!!!!

Blue had a horrible coat for ages dry and brittle with flaky dandruff and he was always itching especially near the tail, but he finally blew his coat and got a lovely undercoat then the guard hairs started coming which he never had before. I don't know what he was fed on but I suspect it was the budget variety!
 
I noticed Tesco had their Gressingham ducks half price, looked like a LOT of eating, but would it be too fatty? Decided against it to be on the safe side.

But now I have another problem, see latest post!!!!
